MATH 1310 - Elementary Algebra

Credits: 3

THIS COURSE(FORMERLY KNOWN AS GENERAL MATH) IS DESIGNED FOR STUDENTS WHO HAVE NOT HAD A PRE- VIOUS COURSE IN ALGEBRA. IT WILL COVER SOME FUN- DAMENTAL TOPICS (ESPONENTS, ORDER OF OPERATION, INEQUALITIES), ALONG WITH BASIC SKILLS; THEN MOVE ON TO CONCENTRATE ON ALGEBRAIC TOPICS. HERE, BASIC SKILLS REFER TO BEING ABLE TO ACCURATELY ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE REAL NUMBERS. THE ALGEBRAIC TOPICS INVOLVE SOLVING LINEAR EQUATIONS AND INEQUALITIES, AND EXTENDING THE BASIC SKILL OPERATIONS TO POLYNOMIALS AND EXPRESSIONS WITH EXPONENTS.
